That Was Us · The Met | "New York, New York, New York" (416) · 13 Jan 2026 podcast

I don't watch.

I'm driving, so I'm safe.

So I listen Thursday morning on my way there, and then I save the next one I have saved for my way back on Saturday.

And to have you guys just there with me in the car, listening to, going over every episode, and I have watched this show so many times.

I can picture every scene in my head.

And so it's just, it's comfort.

It's so much comfort for me.

And then what happened in 2024, you know, it's just so emotional watching my mom progress and helping my dad and all of this.

I also should note that I'm a mental health therapist.

And so feelings are just huge for me, right?

And like, I can't keep my feelings in.

And so I didn't know what to do with all of this.

So in 2024 and 2025, I actually wrote and published a book called Memories Matter about my journey with my mom.

And This Is Us, of course, had to be in part of this book, in part of my book.

So I write about, and I know I'm jumping way ahead, but it's just so important that I write about the scene.

It's one of the last episodes.

And Chrissy, oh my goodness, how Chrissy...

as Kate shows you Sterling and Justin, how to be present with Rebecca, with your mom, the lotion, the hand, the lotion on the hand, the hair brushing.

And so when I watched that the first time that was in 2022 and I was like, okay, wow, that's amazing.

I'm not there yet.
